He has been my primary doctor since 1997. Yes, you may wait a little long to see him, but he is worth the wait. Old school no-nonsense intelligent doctor who knows what he is doing.

My gynecologist told me I had a cyst in my right ovary. Every year when I asked him about it he would tell me it would go away during menopause. When I went to see my primary Dr. Almeida he noticed the lump in my belly. He immediately scheduled me for a ct scan and it turned out to be cancer. I had to have Surgery and chemotherapy for six months. To this day I still worry because I have something in my liver and something in the kidneys that is probably related to the same issue. I love Dr. Almeida!

Dr Almeida refers many patients to my boss & all of them say their wait time could be from an hour to 3 hours. I thought I’d never have the patience for that! I saw him today for a medical clearance for surgery. Once I was in the room with him I forgot about the hour I waited for him. He was so thorough. He gave me advice no Dr ever has. He was completely focused on all my medical history. I know why patients wait for him & stay with him for years. I’ve found my new PCP.

I just saw Dr. Shu and like other reviewers said - his bedside manner is great! A few things to know before you go...

This doctor is an awesome doctor, who knows how to treat his patients. I Have been a patient of his for 20+years!! The wait time is about 2 hours but totally worth the wait. He is a true dedicated Doctor, very down to earth, professional, full of knowledge, compassion and very patient. He always treats his patients with respect and always takes the time to really listen to you. Awesome bedside manners, and treats his patients like family. Knows what he is doing. Highly recommend this doctor and I wouldn't have it any other way. God has truly blessed our family with this wonderful Doctor. God bless this doctor always!
